Super Model Maris Miller Talks About Her Feature Debut in R.I.P.D. The stunningly beautiful Marisa Miller talks about how exciting it is to be working on her first film, and how important it is for her to learn Jeff Bridge's speech mannerisms.

Marisa Miller may be making her film debut in Ryan Reynold's supernatural cop movie, but it isn't her acting debut. She has already made cameos in episodes of "Entourage," "How I Met Your Mother," and "Gary Unmarried." Let's just hope that she can make her crossover from model to actress smoother than Transformers 3 star Rosie Huntington-Whiteley.

Marisa Miller: Yeah, I’m super pumped. They’re all cops in the underworld, and they’re dead. When they have to go to Earth, I play Jeff’s avatar. So it was kind of a crazy experience, because I had to have his inflections, the way he talked and everything.

Kelly Slater: Cool. You should get [Bridges] out on the water! He likes to surf.

Ryan Reynolds Briefly Comments On R.I.P.D. And Deadpool Speaking with MTV at the press junket for his upcoming movie Safe House, Ryan Reynolds commented briefly on his upcoming comic book movie R.I.P.D. and also reveals whether he's still interested in a Deadpool movie. Lucaxmen - 1/31/2012

Ryan Reynolds Talks Deadpool and R.I.P.D.

It's an incredible film," he said. "That was a movie I'd been courting for something like five years now. To see that actually happen—that never happens! It never happens that a movie you've been courting for that long actually ends up being shot and produced. It was a beautiful experience. I know that's going to be an amazing movie."

The Dark Horse comic R.I.P.D. is adapted by Universal Pictures with this fantasy crime film focusing on a newly deceased cop (Ryan Reynolds) who's drafted into a squad of zombie cops that battle the supernatural. Red's Robert Schwentke directs, with Jeff Bridges co-starring as his partner and Kevin Bacon playing the villain.

The cast includes Ryan Reynolds, Jeff Bridges, Kevin Bacon, Marisa Miller, Robert Knepper and Mary-Louise Parker. R.I.P.D. is set to hit theatres on June 28, 2013!

While promoting the DVD, Blu-ray release of his recent film "Safe House," Ryan Reynolds briefly spoke about his comic book film "R.I.P.D." which opens next summer and the highly anticipated solo "Deadpool" film.

Talking with Movie Hole in an interview posted Saturday, the "Green Lantern" star says "R.I.P.D." just wrapped and Jeff Bridges was great.

"R.I.P.D. just wrapped two days ago — I’m really excited about that.R.I.P.D. was great, though. Jeff Bridges is a great costar, and [director] Robert Schwentke did a great job."

The 'Rest in Peace Department' is based on a 1999 Dark Horse comic book series in which a deceased cop (Reynolds) works with a team of 'undead' police officers to discover who murdered him. The newly dead officer will be mentored by a veteran (Bridges) at R.I.P.D. to solve the crime in return for years of service to the 'force.'

Reynolds' description of the film adds even more intrigue to the film.

"It’s unlike any other movie I’ve ever seen. The movie’s palette is just incredible and the scope of it is amazing. It’s nice to see a budget like that being used in a really practical way."

"Deadpool" fans are eager to hear details of bringing the Merc with a Mouth to the big screen, but the "Safe House" star was brief.

"I can’t tell you anything about Deadpool."

Reynolds did open up a little, discussing the fighting in the film.

"I think all the hand-to-hand fighting is tough because there’s no way to really regulate that stuff. It just gets kind of ugly and mean, and there’s nothing you can do about it."

Director Tim Miller is on-board for "Deadpool," but no other details have been released.

After his excellent performance as the villainous Sebastian Shaw in 2011's X-Men: First Class, Kevin Bacon will be returning to the comic book movie genre in this summer's R.I.P.D., which is based on the Dark Horse graphic novel of the same name. Speaking with Collider while promoting The Following, the actor talks briefly about his villain in the Universal-distributed supernatural comedy, saying that the role is much lighter than his character in the FOX TV series. "I was just looping R.I.P.D. Even if it was on a looping stage, it was just so fun to step into some other shoes for awhile. ... He’s a villain, but it’s much lighter. It’s funny. He’s a goofball. He turns into a zombie. He’s not a serial killer." With a July 19th release date set, expect the marketing campaign for R.I.P.D. to begin soon, so stay tuned to CBM for more news on the film.
